Besides changing the files below you will want to run a "find" script to find any files owned by the user id. Write those to a file for a chown script.

Hi *,

What is the impact of changing a user ID ?

For example: "sam" wants to change to "samuel".

Can I:

     1. vi /etc/passwd
     2. vi /etc/security/passwd
     3. vi /etc/security/user
     4. vi /etc/group
     5. mkpasswd -f

The user ID # will stay the same. Anything else ?
